You can't.  They breed.  A large percent is unsalable.  (Been messing with 
Book Stores since 1981.  Now own half of one that does new SF & Mystery & 
related only.  I'm thinking about setting up a Used store in the empty store 
front almost next to us.)
You will also, if you deal with it long enough, discover another peculiarity 
of Used Books.  The stores which charge the highest prices drive out those 
who charge the least.  It's totally counter-intuitive but there's a math type 
reason for it.
